“ Fabulous so helpful ”

My 83 year old mother and I booked Ai, she was more expensive that the other guides, but I understand why., She looks after her clients, and ,makes sure they are comfortable
My mother was so happy with her, likewise me.

“ Expert photography and patience ”

My family had a very particular schedule that needed to be taken care and Ai delivered. We planned on dressing in traditional Japanese dress and taking pictures and Nijo Castle.
Ai delivered with a great rental facility and escorted us to the Castle. She took high quality pictures and sent all of them to my wife quickly and efficiently. We could not have been happier

Ai:

Hope to see you again☆★( ´∀`)/

“ Wonderful introduction to Kyoto ”

Ai is a funny and charming tour guide and I had so much fun exploring Kyoto with her. She helped me navigate the subway, locate a temple I wanted to see, and even helped me find a gift I was looking for. All of which would have been quite a challenge for me alone. If you are in Osaka or Kyoto and you need a guide for either city, you cannot do better than Ai.

Ai:

Thank you for choosing me.
It was very nice to meet you.
I uploaded pics on my blog.
Please check the entry,
“Happy holidays from KYOTO.”
Hope to see you again
with your family
in Japan.( ´∀`)/
your guide & friend,
Ai

“ Kyoto tour including tea ceremony and Maiko dance ”

We had a great experience with Ai. She was very flexible and accommodated to our needs. She perfectly knew how to move throughout the city knowing the buses schedules and distances. She also helped us to get tickets and reservations ahead, which was very useful. Ai gave us a lot of interesting details and explanations about the Japanese culture. When we told her what we wanted to have for lunch (since it was our last day in Japan), she knew exactly where to take us without extra walking. We would highly recommend her.

Ai:

They were kind, curious, and well-mannered guests.
Even their little child walked to me to shake hands and said “thank you “ at the end of our tour.
Therefore, it was a great pleasure to guide such a nice and happy family.
Hope to see them again under the clear sky next time!

“ Nice Trip to Kobe and Rokko Mountain. ”

Ai is a great tour guide that will give you insight knowledge to go where the action is. She possesses the natural ability to share the interest points where you want to visit and to make the most of your stay.

Ai:

Thanks for joining my tour. It was a great pleasure to have such a wonderful couple.
Again, thank you so much and hope to see your family(+with your dog?) again in Japan. ( ´?`)/Ai
